There are high speed/turbo hand grinders 300,000-500,000 rpms you can use just like a pencil or pen, (with a diamond bit). Any material harder than glass can be used (Tungsten Carbide, some steels, Diamonds, most ceramics) and are available in many forms. Diamond-tipped scribes can be purchased very inexpensively. They are essentially a ball-point pen case with a diamond set in the tip instead of a writing ball.
It is important to make sure that the glass you want to carve is not tempered. Compromising the structure of tempered glass can cause it to fracture violently because of the internal stress stored inside the glass during tempering.
Most glass (carving) is not carving but etching. this is done using acid. There is a great deal of information online that will explain in detail how to do this.
